The JF Nihongo Network

Since the fiscal year 2008, the Japan Foundation has been building up the JF Nihongo Network (“Sakura Network”) with the cooperation of Japanese language education institutions worldwide.

The Japan Foundation expects the “Sakura Network” members to play a significant role in terms of enhancing the Japanese language education in their region or country by utilizing various programs provided by the Japan Foundation.

We hope that this network will develop and prosper in every part of the world, just like beautiful cherry blossoms, hence the name “Sakura Network.”

The Japan Foundation will work together in cooperation with the member organizations of the “Sakura Network” to enhance the quality of overseas Japanese language education and provide opportunities to learn the Japanese language.
